285 The Source of the Stones

“Grandpa, don’t jump to conclusions. We don’t know if she can cure me. Anyone can brag.”

The old man shook his head in dissatisfaction. The old man, who had always been thin and weak, burst out with a powerful force at this moment. He actually broke free from Guo Guo’s support and knelt down in front of Gu Man.

His wrinkled forehead knocked heavily on the ground.

Gu Man could understand the old man’s current feelings. After all, there was suddenly a ray of light shining in front of him. The old man would try his best to hold on to this light, even if the hope was slim.

“Miss, as long as you can save Guoguo, my life is yours.”

The old man’s words were firm and without hesitation. Guo Guo’s eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. Then her lips curled into a mocking smile, as if she was surrendering.

She looked up at Gu Man. “You better really be able to treat my illness. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

Gu Man looked at Guo Guo. She had maturity and calmness that did not belong to her age. Waves surged under her dark eyes.

After all, Guo Guo did have the ability.

Facing Guo Guo’s threat, she didn’t care. She just chuckled. “Since I’ve said it, I’ll definitely be able to treat it.”

The old man’s attitude was too firm. Guo Guo knew that she had no choice but to receive treatment. She resigned herself to fate and stretched out her wrist, looking obedient and at the mercy of others.

A flickering incandescent lamp hung high in the dilapidated old house. When it shone on Guo Guo’s skin, it was almost enough to see the green blood vessels under her skin.

Guo Guo was not very good-looking. Perhaps it was because she was too thin and weak that her cheeks were sunken.

When her black pupils stared straight at someone, it made people feel fear for no reason.

The more Gu Man looked at Guo Guo, the more satisfied she was. She liked this girl very much, be it her ability or personality.

“Your illness is not a simple illness. Why have you seen so many doctors? It’s because they all say that your body is fine because no instrument can detect your illness.”

“I’ve seen a lot of Chinese Doctors. Their conclusions are the same as Western medicine.”

Guo Guo almost subconsciously talked back to Gu Man. Sensing the old man’s gaze beside her, she pouted and turned around without saying anything else.

“Guo Guo has been like this since she was young. Miss, don’t mind her. By the way, didn’t you want to know the source of the stone?”

The old man was worried that Gu Man would be angry and quickly took the bag he had thrown there from the bed. The stones scattered inside were the ones from the stall.

When Guo Guo looked at the stones, her pupils flickered a few times. She could no longer calm down and sounded like she was questioning him.

“Grandpa, aren’t these the most precious things to you? How can this be?!”

As if thinking of something, Guo Guo shut her mouth tightly, her eyes filled with unwillingness. Then, she looked up and stared straight at Gu Man.

“I can give you money. You can name a number, but you can’t take the stones.”

Guo Guo knew what these stones meant to the old man, but now, for her illness, Grandpa even had to give up the stones he had cherished for a long time.

She felt too indignant and vexed. It was all her fault for dragging her grandfather down. So what if she had superb hacking skills? She could not cure her illness.

Her mood instantly darkened, and Gu Man could clearly feel it.

However, she did not look at Guo Guo. Instead, her gaze landed on the rocks. She really could not see anything special about these rocks.

Could it be that she had misjudged? There was actually something special about this stone that she had yet to discover, or had the spiritual power of them been hidden by some special method?

There was a way to hide spiritual power in this world, but in this era, this method had long disappeared in the long river of history.

“Guo Guo, this is the reward I promised others. How can I go back on my word? Besides, no matter how precious this stone is, it’s not as precious as my granddaughter’s life. As long as you can be fine, Grandpa is willing to give his life to others.”
